Engineering for hospitality

Every bill.Every guest.Yours.

Square takes the payment. Stampede is the guest layer on top, so every bill lands on a guest you know.

Guest platform for UK hospitality venues on Square: bookings, pre-orders, ordering, loyalty and marketing that sync both ways with Square, on one flat price per venue.

The problem

The till forgets.

Priya pays on Square every time. Nobody learns her name.

The partnership

Why Square.

Square takes the payment. Stampede is the guest layer on top.

Flexible APIs

Years to choose

It took us years to work out which point of sale to go with. We chose Square because its APIs were flexible enough to build the guest experience we pictured.

Source of truth

Square is the bank

Every payment runs through Square itself, with no white-labelled payment provider in the middle. That generally means a better rate for the venue.

Everyone wins

One loop

The harder Stampede works, with more campaigns and a sharper read on every guest, the more revenue reaches the venue, and the more of it runs through Square.

In the venue

Priya, remembered.

One Friday on Square, and what Stampede adds at every step.

Built from your Square items

Pre-order menus come from your Square line items, with their modifiers.

Pushed when you seat them

Seat the booking and every pre-order goes to the Square handhelds, so nobody keys it in again.

Deposits, through to Square

Taken when the guest books with Stampede, then pushed through to Square with the booking.

Time back on a big night

A party of 18 has ordered before it sits down, so the team serves instead of taking orders.

Two-way sync

Both ways.

Orders and payments come in. Bookings and rewards go back to the till.

PayOS

PayOS is Stampede's two-way Square integration: every order, payment and walk-in from your Square point of sale lands on one guest profile.

Ordering at the table

Guests scan, order from your live Square menu and pay by card. The order reaches the till with its table.

The difference

Not just connected.

Connecting to Square is the start. What reaches the till is the difference.

Most Square apps

  • Bookings or CRM that read your spend after the fact
  • Pre-orders that never reach the handheld
  • A separate tool for every job
  • Pre-orders on the till and handhelds when the party sits down
  • Rewards redeemed at the till
  • One guest profile across bookings, ordering, Wi-Fi, loyalty and reviews
